Historia biográfica
James Edward Wize immigrated with his family to Edmonton, Alberta from Rossland, British Columbia circa (ca.) 1902. Wize owned the Corona Hotel in Edmonton and was an architect. He designed the Alberta Hotel and various other buildings in the city. Leonard E. Wize was born ca. 1902 and immigrated to Edmonton, Alberta from Rossland, British Columbia with his family ca. 1904. Wize played for the Edmonton Eskimos football team in the early 1920s and, at about the same time, took over the operation of the Corona Hotel from his father. The original building, known as Wize Block, was destroyed by fire in 1932, and a new building built at 106th Street and Jasper. During World War II Wize worked in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Edmonton hangers and served as personnel officer for the Air Observers' School. He retired in 1959 when he sold the Corona Hotel. Wize was founder, past-president, and lifetime member of the Alberta Fish and Game League, and was also a member of the Masons. He died on September 28, 1972, survived by his wife Wilda, his daughter, his stepdaughter, and his sister, Ethel.
